My Vampire Bite

I understand wanting to know
But what you did was kind of low
Just to find out who really cared
So insecure... so insecure... so insecure...
You wanted her to tell you
Cuz you wanted to know
But little did you realize
I cared too
How she'd react was the only thing that matter to you
But I cared too... I cared too
Thats not your fault
You never asked me to care whether you lived or died
But I did and when I found out you lied
It hurt... and I cried

Maybe you should've waited a day later
My lack of disappointment would be so much greater
But I am disappointed
By this soap opera thats so disjointed
He said, she said, they said... everybodies gonna be dead
But its a swerve... a hoax
How you had the nerve for this morbid joke... I'll never know

I was laying on that hard wood floor
Trying hard to ignore
The words coming from her mouth
About everything going south
After the fact... but still in the middle to be exact
Because the truth was still to come
My hands were electrified but numb
And I started to shake
Adreneline flowin through me like an earthquake
I was ready to throw punches and bury knives
Just to save your life
And is that fireworks in the background
Or is that sound... my brain exploding
From so much emoting

Maybe you should've waited a day later
My lack of disappointment would be so much greater
But I am disappointed
By this soap opera thats so disjointed
He said, she said, they said... everybodies gonna be dead
But its a swerve... a hoax
How you had the nerve for this morbid joke... I'll never know

I was kinda sleeping when the call came
That put an end to this game
This game that had me so fucking distraught
The emotions it brought... brang me to the edge
Of my sanity... and I was ready to break
And I was ready to take.... a life
To protect a life... and I was ready to give my own
For what happened over the phone
I was ready to jump in front of a bullet
My need to protect, in full effect
I was willing to get shot
For your stupid insecure plot
Did you even think about me being there?
Did you even care? ...cuz I did.

Maybe you should've waited a day later
My lack of disappointment would be so much greater
But I am disappointed
By this soap opera thats so disjointed
He said, she said, they said... everybodies gonna be dead
But its a swerve... a hoax
How you had the nerve for this morbid joke... I'll never know

I woke up to hear the story
Intensive care and two page emails
They were all tall tales
Nobody was gettin shot
And everybody was gettin caught
And Al was a pal
Telling me to breathe deeply
After my feelings were tossed aside so cheaply
Its all over now
But it didn't need to start to begin with
And if it really had to
Maybe it could've waited a day... or two
So I could've caught it on the flipside
Instead of being caught in the middle of your downhill slide
You brought me in, whether you wanted to or not
Well, thanks a lot.
